The ruined ocean came to be called the Wasteland, and, giving off poisonous vapor, its forest of fungi spreads, until it threatens the existence of the declining human race . \bigskip {\centerline{\bigtenrm{Nausica\"a of the Valley of the Wind}}} \bigskip \describe{We see Nausica\"a flying over the Wasteland on her glider, Mehve. She lands and enters the forest} \say Nausica\"a: Ah! \say Nausica\"a: The path of an Ohmu$\ldots$ It's still fresh$\ldots$ \describe{She follows the track} \say Nausica\"a: Ah! \say Nausica\"a: The shed skin of an Ohmu$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Amazing$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: What a perfect cast-off skin, the first. \say Nausica\"a: Phew$\ldots$ Sounds good. Hah! \say Nausica\"a: Oof$\ldots$ The ceramic sword wasn't enough. The Valley people will be happy. \say Nausica\"a: I'm not worried, the materials to make a tool were here all the time. \say Nausica\"a: An amazing eye$\ldots$ I think I can fly back with this one$\ldots$ \describe{She frees a hemispherical eye covering from the rest of the shell} \say Nausica\"a: Oof! Ah - got it - wow! How light it is. Ha, ha$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$ The vapor is making the afternoon spores fall. \say Nausica\"a: If not for this mask, my lungs would decay in five minutes. A forest of death$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$?! Who?! \say Nausica\"a: What could it be$\ldots$ My heart is pounding$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ah!! It's an insect gun! Someone is angering the insects. \say Nausica\"a: Ah, sorry! \say Nausica\"a: Over there! An amazing cloud of spores$\ldots$ An Ohmu! It must be the owner of that shed skin. \say Nausica\"a: It's no use running over that way. \describe{She fires a signal flare} \say Nausica\"a: Pay attention! \say Nausica\"a: They answered! Come over this way! \describe{She takes to the air aboard Mehve, and soon finds a rider fleeing from an Ohmu} \say Nausica\"a: Him?! \say Nausica\"a: What a splendid Ohmu$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a (to Yupa): To the windward side! \say Yupa: Sorry! \describe{Nausica\"a drops flares to dazzle the Ohmu} \say Nausica\"a: Ohmu - go back to the forest. Beyond here is not your world. Say, be a good boy. In anger, you forget me$\ldots$ You're not quiet. \say Yupa: The light turned the Ohmu's eyes$\ldots$ \describe{Nausica\"a circles the Ohmu, holding a strange noisemaker} \say Yupa: An insect-whistle $\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ohmu, open your eyes$\ldots$ Let's go back to the forest. \say Nausica\"a: It's woken up! \say Yupa: Oh$\ldots$! \say Yupa: The Ohmu will go back to the forest$\ldots$ And with just light- bombs and insect-whistles, she quiets Ohmu$\ldots$ \describe{Soon, Nausica\"a lands and runs to Yupa} \say Nausica\"a: Lord Yupa! \say Yupa: Oh! \say Nausica\"a: Ah, ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ \say Yupa: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ Nausica\"a, you've grown. \say Nausica\"a: It's been a year and a half!

A fox-squirrel. Nice to meet you! \say Yupa: This fellow was kidnapped by a bird-louse, he's not much more than a baby$\ldots$ I ended up using my gun unintentionally. \say Nausica\"a: Why did you anger such a large Ohmu? \say Yupa: Because he fainted, he didn't inhale the poison. No, don't put out your hand that way. He's a good child, but rather violent. \say Nausica\"a: Come to me$\ldots$ \say Yupa: Hey! \say Nausica\"a: Hey, don't be afraid$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Don't be afraid. \say Nausica\"a: Say, you're not afraid, are you? \say Nausica\"a: He was just scared.

Because of the forest's poison$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Yes$\ldots$ The decision to live near the Wasteland$\ldots$? \say Yupa: I must visit as soon as possible$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: No$\ldots$ It would be really good for you to come$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Teacher! Later on, right or wrong, I want you to look at something. My secret room! \say Yupa: Oho$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: I'm not afraid, I'll go and notify everybody. (?) \say Nausica\"a: Teacher, you hurry, too! Lord Yupa!! Would you please carry this? I can't fly well, the air currents are disrupted! \say Yupa: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ Still, she reads the wind well. Well - just a little further. \describe{Later, in the Valley of Wind} \say Goll: Oh! Lord Yupa! \say Mito: Welcome. \say Yupa: Oh, is everyone well? \say Mito: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ Both water and wind run smoothly - it's quiet. \say Child: Lord Yupa! \say Yupa: Ah, everyone's well? \say Guard: Wow, Lord Yupa. \say People: It's Lord Yupa. \say Person 1: We've been waiting for you, Lord Yupa. \say Person 2: Welcome back. \describe{Nausica\"a is repairing a windmill blade} \say Mito: Princess!

Turn it. \say Mito: Looks good, doesn't it! \say Nausica\"a: Yes! \describe{On the ground, people are admiring the Ohmu's eye case} \say Goll: Oh - it's a real good one. I'll see if we can get help putting it in first thing tomorrow. \say Nausica\"a: So this is Toeto? \say Woman: Yes. \say Nausica\"a: Lord Yupa, this is the child Toeto that was born this year. \say Yupa: Oh, let me see. \say Yupa: Ho-ho $\ldots$ She's a fine girl. Reminds me of Nausica\"a when she was small. \say Woman: Would you please be this child's godfather? \say Old Woman: So that a good wind will always blow for her$\ldots$ \say Yupa: I accept. I'll give her a good name. \say Woman: Thank you. Somehow, she'll grow strong like the Princess$\ldots$ \say Mito: Hm! Talking about strength, the Princess is famous for it. But it vexes me that she plays by the Wasteland. \say Nausica\"a: But, thanks to the shell of the Ohmu, I'm fine! \say Mito: But, look at me, a Castle Uncle, so worried I can't sleep at night. \say Man: Heh, heh, heh$\ldots$ \say Goll: Ha, ha, ha$\ldots$ And if there are Ohmu shells there, don't say it's bad to play in the Princess's Wasteland$\ldots$ \say Yupa: And that's true.

But where it goes, it has the unlucky shadow of a hunger for warfare$\ldots$ Why doesn't it take up residence in this valley$\ldots$? \say Grandma: Because here we are protected by the wind that blows from the sea. The poisons from the forest can't reach the valley$\ldots$ \say Jiru: How about it, Yupa - won't you eventually settle in this valley? With me in this condition$\ldots$ Everybody would be happy $\ldots$ \say Yupa: Hm$\ldots$ \say Grandma: Hee, hee $\ldots$ You're wrong. Yupa is a man who is destined to continue searching. Mmm$\ldots$ \say Yupa: Destiny $\ldots$? \say Nausica\"a: Grandma, what do you mean by "search"? \say Grandma: My boy$\ldots$ Didn't you tell Nausica\"a? Look. It's that tapestry on the wall, I believe. \say Grandma: Although I can't see it any more, I think it's in the left corner. "That person, wearing a blue robe, shall stand in a golden field." \say Nausica\"a: "The ground and its bonds will be lost, will end. At last they will lead everyone to an Earth of green purity$\ldots$" \say Nausica\"a: Lord Yupa - just now, I knew to use the old words. \say Yupa: Coming from Grandma, they turn into a puzzle! \say Grandma: Hee, hee, hee$\ldots$ I guess it's a woman's way. \say Yupa: I only hope to solve the riddle of the Wasteland$\ldots$ As I see it, we, the human race, are destined to be destroyed as a race, swallowed by the Wasteland$\ldots$? I don't want to see that. \describe{In Nausica\"a's room} \say Nausica\"a: It would be good if Lord Yupa could help me$\ldots$ \describe{That night} \say Mito: Princess$\ldots$ Princess! \say Nausica\"a: What, Mito? \say Mito: It's Goll. There's something in the wind. \say Nausica\"a: It'll be dawn very soon, won't it$\ldots$ I'll go at once. \describe{Soon, atop the castle} \say Nausica\"a: Thanks for telling me. \say Goll: It's a fair tempest$\ldots$ Very strange$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ah ha! There!! Hey, there it is again! It's a plane. \say Mito: Why a plane, in a borderland like this$\ldots$ \say Yupa: Something's up, isn't it! \say Mito: Lord Yupa! It's a plane. \say Yupa: A plane?! \say Nausica\"a: It's coming! \say Mito: It's big! \say Yupa: It's a big Tolumekian ship! \say Nausica\"a: The way it flies is strange$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: I don't think it has time to land. Goll! Get me up! \say Goll: Eh?! \say Mito: Princess! That's crazy! \say Nausica\"a: I'll guide them to the coast! \say Yupa: They've turned around! \say Goll: Yes - it'll go! \describe{Teto jumps onto Nausica\"a's shoulder just before the catapult launches Mehve into the air.} \say Nausica\"a: Teto$\ldots$! \describe{The plane is aswarm with insects, and losing altitude} \say Nausica\"a: Ah! \say Nausica\"a: What a thing to do$\ldots$! Leaving the Wasteland, they killed insects. \say Nausica\"a: Ha! Raise your rudder!! You'll crash!! Raise your rudder!! \say Nausica\"a: Your rudder$\ldots$!! \describe{On the castle roof} \say Yupa: It fell$\ldots$ \say Mito: Princess$\ldots$! \say Goll: It's the seaside cliff! \say Mito: Let's go!! \describe{At the crash site} \say Voice: Move it, let's go!! Hurry up!! \say Nausica\"a: It's that girl! She's alive$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: Oof$\ldots$ \say Lastelle: Ah! Where$\ldots$? \say Nausica\"a: The Valley of the Wind$\ldots$ No use chatting! Ah!! \say Lastelle: I$\ldots$ am Lastelle, from Pejite$\ldots$ The cargo$\ldots$ Burn the cargo$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: The cargo? \say Lastelle: Please $\ldots$ Burn it $\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: The cargo - I see. It's all right. Everyone burned. \say Lastelle: Good$\ldots$! \say Mito: Princess! Here she is! Hey - found her!! \say Voices: The insects$\ldots$ Help the wounded! \say Mito: This place$\ldots$! She's a princess of the royal house of Pejite. \say Man: It's an insect!! The Ushiab is alive!! \say Man 1: Horrible! It's calling its friends! \say Man 2: It can't fly because it's hurt. \say Man 3: Bring your guns here! \say Man 4: It's no use! If we shoot, it'll call more of its friends! \say Man 5: I'll kill it on the spot! \say Man 6: Kill an Ushiab with a gun? \say Man 5: Well, how, then? \say Nausica\"a: Wait! Mito - bring Mehve. \say Mito: Yes! \say Man 5: Princess! \describe{Nausica\"a uses her insect whistle again} \say Nausica\"a: Return to the forest$\ldots$ It's OK! You can fly. That's a good boy$\ldots$ \say Mito: Princess! \say Nausica\"a: Thanks. \describe{She rides Mehve to the Wasteland, leading the insect home} \say Man: She did it!! \say Man 2: That's our Princess! \say Mito: Good$\ldots$ With just one look she stopped it dead, but how did she get it up? I don't get it $\ldots$ \describe{In the Wasteland} \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: An Ohmu$\ldots$ \describe{Elsewhere, planes are signaling each other} \describe{Later, back in the Valley, the fields are being searched} \say Boy: Found it! Come on! Here it is. There were spores on that ship after all. \say Man: They aren't giving off poisons yet. All in one effort. \say Boy: Yes. If even one remains, it's an emergency, isn't it. \describe{At the crash site} \say Man: What do you suppose this lump is $\ldots$? \say Man 2: It didn't burn in that fire, did it$\ldots$ \say Mito: Well, everybody, we'll return to the investigation of this thing later. Let's go help them burn the spores. \say Man: All right - Let's go! \say Man 2: Yes, let's go. \say Mito: Be careful. Really, what a troublesome thing to transport. \say Yupa: Mito, look here. \say Mito: Huh? \say Mito: It's moving$\ldots$ Just like it's alive$\ldots$ Lord Yupa, this is$\ldots$! \say Yupa: In the midst of my travels, I heard an ominous rumor$\ldots$ It said that a monster from the ancient world had been excavated from beneath the city of Pejite, where it was sleeping. \say Mito: A monster from the ancient world? \say Yupa: It's a Giant Guardian. \say Mito: A Giant Guardian?! You mean, the ones that burned the world in the Seven Days of Fire$\ldots$?! This thing $\ldots$! \say Voice: The Giant Guardians must all have been completely fossilized$\ldots$ \say Yupa: But the fellow continued to sleep underground for 1000 years. \say Mito: Ah! If so, this fellow would have human form. \say Yupa: Tolumekia is an evil military state in the far West$\ldots$ It's good that the captives from Pejite are dead$\ldots$ I'm uneasy$\ldots$ \describe{Elsewhere} \say Nausica\"a: Take care of the traces. What is it$\ldots$ \describe{Planes appear, scattering the people} \say Women: Huh? Ah!! \say People: Wah! Ah! \say Voice: Run!! \say Nausica\"a: It's a Tolumekian ship. Everyone - to the castle! \say Man: Wah! \describe{The planes, landing, are letting out armored soldiers} \say Nausica\"a: Everybody! To the castle!!

Ah! \say Yupa: Both of you, don't move!! If you move, this knife shaved from Ohmu shell will pierce ceramic armor. \say Kushana: That man$\ldots$ is Yupa. \say Yupa: We will obey the Tolumekian army$\ldots$ Last night, the people of this valley worked desperately but didn't save their ship. \say Yupa: And now, again, we must politely bury our dead. For that small thing, the Tolumekian courtesy is to attack that country?! If you start a war, there must be a reason. First of all, send a messenger. You must express a verbal message. [Quietly] Nausica\"a$\ldots$ Calm down, Nausicaa! \say Nausica\"a: Ah. .. \say Yupa: If we fight now, everyone in the valley will die$\ldots$ We'll remain alive and wait for our chance. \say Kurotawa: Oof$\ldots$ That little girl $\ldots$! \say Kushana: Stop, Kurotawa. \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$ \say Kurotawa: Ah$\ldots$ Well, what a rascal she is. She killed everybody$\ldots$ \say Kushana: Your admonition pains my ears$\ldots$ Aren't you Yupa Mirald, the lone swordsman of the borderlands? Our objective is not a massacre. I want to tell you our tale. Put down your sword. \describe{Outside the castle, the people are gathered under guard} \say Mito: Huh? It's the Princess! \say Man: Princess! \say Kurotawa: Listen! To the words of Her Highness Kushana, Commander of the borderland expeditionary force of the Tolumekian Empire! \say Kushana: You are on the verge of being destroyed by the Wasteland. Obey us, and take part in our undertaking! Burn down the Wasteland once again, and this planet will revive! \say Gikkuri: Burn down the Wasteland, is it? \say Muzu: We can't do that?! \say Kushana: In order to make the human race the masters of this planet again, we have revived a miraculous power, on purpose. To the people who obey me, I promise a livelihood when there are no more insects or forest poisons. \say Grandma: Wait! \say Grandma: You will not raise a hand against the Wasteland! \say Kurotawa: Who is this old crone? Hey! Take her away! \say Kushana: Let her speak$\ldots$ \say Grandma: The Wasteland was born a thousand years ago$\ldots$ Frequently, people came to try to burn down the Wasteland, since then. \say Grandma: But every time, a crowd of Ohmu came, maddened with anger, trampling the earth and bringing great sorrow$\ldots$ Destroying countries, swallowing up cities$\ldots$ \say Grandma: The Ohmu ran until they died of hunger$\ldots$ In due time, the Ohmu's bodies decomposed, and the spores fixed their roots in the earth. The grand earth is absorbed by the Wasteland$\ldots$ You will not touch the Wasteland$\ldots$ \say Kurotawa: Shut up! I won't allow that kind of muttering. \say Grandma: My boy, what will you do? Kill me? \say Kurotawa: Y - you! \say Grandma: So kill me! I'm old and blind. It's simple enough. Like you killed Jiru$\ldots$ \say Mito: Lord Jiru?! \say Voice: How terrible! \say Man: Even though Lord Jiru was an invalid! \say Voices: Inhuman wretch! Murderers! Send them out! \say Kurotawa: Quiet them! Don't be lenient with the disobedient ones. \say Nausica\"a: Wait, everyone! Listen to me$\ldots$! I don't want anyone else to die$\ldots$ \say Mito: Princess$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Please understand, Grandma$\ldots$ Let's obey these people. \describe{Later, the Giant Guardian is being moved} \say Men: Oof $\ldots$ \say Tolumekian Guard: Hey, what's the problem. \say Guard: Over that way! Hurry! Don't slack off! \say Kushana: Pretty nice valley, isn't it$\ldots$? \say Kurotawa: I think the opposite. Our orders are to transport the Giant Guardian to our native country as soon as possible. \say Kushana: It's impossible to carry out those orders. Even the big ship is unequal to the weight of that thing. It crashed. \say Kurotawa: But$\ldots$ You can't be in your right mind - to establish a country in this place$\ldots$ \say Kushana: And what if I do? Are you saying you're a fool, the toy of the fools back home? \say Kurotawa: Well, good heavens, all right already$\ldots$ Ah, I am no more than a single soldier. My decision is in accordance with that: I will do my duty. \say Kushana: Hmph! Badger $\ldots$! I will return to Pejite. In my absence, pour all efforts into reviving the Giant Guardian. \say Kurotawa: Yes, ma'am! Can you use this gunship? \say Kushana: Yes. It's a find. \describe{In Kushana's makeshift throne room} \say Kushana: There's no mistake - and I am not discussing it . \say Mito: But $\ldots$! Taking the Princess to Pejite$\ldots$ \say Goll: Five hostages and food in the gunship$\ldots$ \say Kushana: I'll leave the selection of people to you. Prepare for tomorrow morning's departure. \describe{In the hanger} \say Yupa: Thanks, about the hostages. \say Mito: In any case, we$\ldots$ Please look. The rascals intend to take everything. \say Yupa: I am leaving this place$\ldots$ until I get an opportunity to return secretly. At any rate, see if you can stop those idiots from reviving it. \say Mito: Yes. \say Yupa: Nausica\"a$\ldots$ Teto, where is your mistress? \describe{Yupa follows Teto to a room under the castle} \say Yupa: Oh! \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$ \say Yupa: Nausica\"a - what does this mean? Not plants from the Wasteland! \say Nausica\"a: I gathered spores and raised them. It's all right - they don't give off vapors. \say Yupa: They don't give off poison $\ldots$!? Although the air in here certainly is pure $\ldots$ Why?! Although there is strong arsenic poison in the flowers. \say Nausica\"a: The water in here is brought up from 500 meters underground by the big castle windmill. The sand is gathered from the bottom of the same well. So I know that the Wasteland's trees don't give off poison in clean water and soil$\ldots$ . \say Nausica\"a: The soil is polluted! The soil of this valley is polluted. Why!? Who could have done this to the world $\ldots$ \say Yupa: You found out that, by yourself$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: Yes$\ldots$ And Father wanted to cure everyone's illness $\ldots$ But $\ldots$ Now this place will be closed. The water stopped a little while ago$\ldots$ Before long, everyone will die, I guess$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Ah$\ldots$! \say Yupa: Nausica\"a$\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: I$\ldots$ I'm afraid$\ldots$ They're killing in spite, I don't know what to do. But I don't want anyone else to die $\ldots$! \describe{The next day, just before takeoff} \say Little Girl: Princess! Princess!

We're leaving! \say Nausica\"a: Well$\ldots$ \say Little Girl: *Sniff* \say Nausica\"a: Everyone - don't cry any more $\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: It's OK. I'll come right back . \say Little Girl: Really? \say Nausica\"a: Hey, have I ever told you a lie? \say Little Girl: No$\ldots$ \say Nausica\"a: Mm? \say Little Girl: Really? \say Nausica\"a: M-hm! \say Nausica\"a: Well, take care! \say Little Girl: Yes. See you again! \say Man 1: Take care of the Princess! \say Castle Uncle: See you later! \describe{In the air, aboard the Valley's unpowered cargo trailer} \say Goll: Ah$\ldots$ Are we at Pejite yet? \say Gikkuri: My knees hurt$\ldots$ \say Niga: My, my, the Princess chose [you] generously, too. \say Gikkuri: Hee, hee, hee. \say Goll: I see$\ldots$ Don't you think it's funny? Why are we flying in a swarm like this? \say Castle Uncle: No, it's not funny, it's as if they're frightened of an attack. \describe{Aboard a large transport ship} \say Nausica\"a: Under the clouds is a terrible whirlpool of vapors. Hm? \say Guard: Don't move. \say Nausica\"a: Gunship!! \say Nausica\"a: Ah! \say Voice: Enemy attack! The \#2 ship is destroyed!! \describe{On the barge} \say Gikkuri: Like you said! \say Goll: Oh - it's terrible. \describe{The gunship is coming around for another attack} \say Voice: Defense perimeter!

Signal from the \#3 ship! ``We can't steer! We can't steer!'' \say Mito: What a fragile ship. \say Voice: Wah! The rear-guard were caught up in it! \describe{The trailer's towline snaps} \say Nausica\"a: Ah! The barge wire $\ldots$! \say Nausica\"a: Teto - hurry up! \say Mito: It's no use - this one'll fall, too! \say Mito: Princess! \say Nausica\"a: Stop!
